This document is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an Automated Hematology Analyzer System. The Defense Health Agency is seeking two upright fully automated hematology systems that can perform complete blood count (CBC) testing, body fluid testing, and integrate with the current laboratory information system. The system must include a slide maker/stainer and slide reader. The contractor will provide all labor, parts, materials, and training to install the system. Pricing is required in a Cost Per Reportable (CPR) billing format. The RFP has a due date of September 20, 2024, and will result in a firm-fixed-price contract with a base year and four 12-month option periods. The solicitation is set aside as full and open competition. Technical capability and past performance are more important than price in the evaluation criteria.
